Let’s Talk About Ovarian Cancer
Finding ovarian cancer early can mean it’s more treatable.
Know the symptoms
Main symptoms are:
- persistent bloating or a swollen tummy
- reduced appetite or feeling full quickly after eating
- pain or tenderness in your tummy or pelvis (the area between the hips)
- urinary symptoms (needing to wee more urgently or more often).
These will be:
- frequent: they will usually happen more than 12 times per month
- persistent: they don’t go away
- new: they’re not normal for you.
There are many other (non-cancer) causes for these symptoms but if you are concerned, it’s best to get them checked out.
Have the conversation. Contact your GP practice.
Further information about ovarian cancer can be found on the NHS website
